“But in that one short meeting I’d learned that meditation, within a mindful context, was not about stopping thoughts or controlling the mind. It was a process of giving up control, of stepping back, learning how to focus attention in a passive way, while simply resting the mind in its own natural awareness.”

Some Cool Witch Tips/Facts I’ve Found

Moping your floors (or cleaning with) pine needle infused water will cleanse a space of negative energy.

After working with crystals for dream work it’s good to take a break and let your dreams breath.

When trying to meditate, you are not actually doing anything wrong by being unable to “clear your mind.” The goal is not actually to have a blank mind, but an open and receptive one. If a thought pops in suddenly, acknowledge it, dismiss it, and move on. It doesn’t mean you’re not focused or doing it wrong.

Hydrangeas are moderately toxic if eaten.

Electronic library. Download books free. Finding books This website has a lot of witchy books you can download for free!!

Holey Stones, any stone with a hole in it, are thought to gaurd against malicious fae and protection in general.

Palo Santo and White Sage because they are being grown on stolen land. For cleansing, you can use: cedar, juniper, lavender, rosemary, lemongrass, cinnamon, or eucalyptus.

If you don’t have a bath tube for ritual baths, do a foot bath instead.

Basil Tea

(I promise it tastes better than it sounds)

Ingredients:

• 4 fresh basil leaves
• Water
• 1 lemon (3-5 drops of juice to taste)
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• A teaspoon of raw sugar

Directions:

Pick the freshest basil leaves and wash them gently to avoid blemishing the leaves.

Place the leaves in the strainer

Boil water in a kettle.

Put the hot boiling water into your cup or mug. Then, put the fresh basil leaves into it with the other ingredients.

Let it set for around 3-4 minutes until the water turns into a bit of a golden colour.

Using the strainer, remove the leaves.

My basil bush is thriving.

The best time to harvest is on a warm, sunny day, just after the dew has dried and just before the flowers form. But you can harvest basil as you need it.

Harvest by pinching off leaves as needed once the plant is strong enough to handle it. If taking a large harvest, leave at least two shoots intact. It will grow back in a few weeks.

Hang upside in bunches or lay flat on a drying rack to dry. Ensure proper ventilation to reduce the chance of mold. Store in an airtight container away from heat or light for up to one year. The flavor of dried basil is not as good as fresh basil.

Basil helps steady the mind, brings happiness, love, peace, and money and protects against insanity.

Use basil in spells to attract love and in preparation for astral projection or to bring luck in physical journeys.

Carrying a leaf in your pocket or wallet will attract money.

Keep a bit of basil in each room to protect the home and family. To protect you when leaving the house, rub some basil on your forehead.

Also used in peacemaking spells and to make up after a fight.

Basil - The Witchipedia

A home for the herbs…

Clear quartz, Smokey Quartz, rose quartz, amethyst.

Obsidian is truth-enhancing. A strongly protective stone, it forms a shield against negativity. It absorbs negative energies from the environment. Obsidian draws out mental stress and tension.

Not Witchy-related, but still somehow Witchy-related

FRIDAY THE 13 (odd feeling)

Good afternoon to all my fellow witches … I have a question for you, today is Friday the 13 and as soon as the clock striked 12 (nyc time) I got this really odd feeling I can’t describe it but something feels different. Has anyone else experienced this today or is it just me? If you have any input I would live to hear about to.
